Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for container transport according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices serve containers, such as PET bottles in the beverage industry, a Be fiscalerbehendlungsstrom, for example, a beverage filling, supply.
  • the containers are thereby delivered in their head region, in the case of PET bottles, on the circumferential collar below the bottle opening, for example via air conveyor systems on the container treatment machine. There they must be accelerated to a sufficient speed for feeding into the treatment machine. This is done according to the prior art by Einlaufusionn that capture the bottle in the head area and accelerate by taking along a Sectionkrels rotation range. There, the bottles are then taken over by a subsequent transport system with the increased speed and fed to the machine.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the known transport devices to the effect that the transport safety can be improved even at high throughput speeds and accelerations.
  • the invention achieves this with a device having the features of claim 1.
  • a co-rotating guide device which, in addition to its detection in the head region, additionally guides and / or supports the container laterally and / or in the lower region.
  • the co-rotation of the guide device prevents the container from becoming skewed and wedged by a sole force acting exclusively in the head region and the resulting accelerations and inertial forces. Rather, the container is driven and accelerated evenly over its entire height. This ensures safe transport even for large PET bottles, for example.
  • the proposed guide device can take on additional tasks. So she can lead the container during the transport process, support, additionally driving or secure before falling down from the device.
  • the guide device is designed such that it detects the container at a laterally lower area. Possibly. Alternatively or additionally, a detection in the ground area may be expedient.
  • the guide device on a wheel flange, which detects the bottles and transported.
  • the guide device may also have a bottom, which detects the container in the bottom area.
  • the guide device is connected in an embodiment, for example via studs with the inlet disk, which allows a particularly simple and convenient implementation.
  • the guide device rotates together with the inlet disk and so a uniform guidance of the container over its entire length is possible.
  • the guide device is adjustable in height and / or its diameter. This is useful when using the system and thus the device according to the invention containers of different dimensions to be processed.
  • the facilities are basically independent of the size of the container extending underneath.
  • it makes sense to make the guide device correspondingly adjustable, so that a secure guidance and thus a safe transport can also take place with containers of different sizes.
  • a container transporting device is supplied laterally at the transfer point 2 with the containers to be transported 9, for example, PET bottles for drinks. These are transported by engagement in their head area, for example via air transport systems, not shown.
  • the head of the container 9 is moved by a guide rail 3 to a rotating inlet disk 4 after the transfer at the transfer point 2. This is rotated by an electric motor 5 with gear 6.
  • the inlet disk 4 detects the container 9 in its head area and accelerates it, so that they can be transferred after a partial rotation of the inlet disk 4 to the located behind it, not shown next treatment station.
  • a fixed stop guide 7 with expiring stop bar 8 supports the hanging down the container laterally during transport.
  • each container 9 is accelerated to the speed necessary for entry into the machine behind it.
  • the inventive device 10 which in Fig. 2 is shown in detail, also has the transfer point 2, the guide rail 3 and the rotating inlet disk 4, the drive in Fig. 2 is not shown in detail and analogous to in Fig. 1 shown is constructed.
  • the fixed stop guide 7 and the unrecognizable stop bar 8 are also present.
  • the device according to the invention has a guide device 11. It is designed in the form of a flange 12, which is expanded so that it supports the container 9 in its lower lateral region to the axis of rotation 15 out. Furthermore, the guide device 11 has an annular bottom 13, which supports the container 9 downwards.
  • the guide device 11 is connected via stud bolts 14 with the inlet disk 4 and thus rotates with this.
  • the flange 12 and bottom 13 serve to guide the container 9 during rotation and thereby taking place acceleration and support down.
  • they drive the container 9 in addition.
  • falling out of the container 9 is prevented by the support down.
  • Containers that are not delivered completely vertically, but at different inclinations at the transfer point 2 are erected by the guide device 11 and thus introduced in an upright position in the subsequent treatment machine. The susceptibility to failure of the entire system is thus significantly reduced.
  • both the stud bolts 14 and the guide means 11 are adjustable, so that the distance to the inlet disc 4 and the diameter of the flange 12 are variable. In this way, the entire system can be easily adapted to different sizes of the container 9 to be treated.
  • the invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be modified in many ways without departing from the spirit.
  • the dimensions and configurations of the guide device and the attachment to the inlet disc are customizable to the circumstances and requirements. The same applies to the materials used. Of course, it is also possible to drive the guide device separately or supplement by additional guide elements, for example, for the exterior of the container.
